In addition to our guest, John Brown, former senior foreign service officer and now faculty at Georgetown, we will also have Shawn Powers of Georgia State University in attendance. Dr. Powers is a specialist in international broadcasting and public diplomacy. Given the readings focus on the constitutive role of culture in public diplomacy formations - we will also talk about ways in which culture informs the US public diplomacy response to the Egypt crisis, and, how cultural attitudes towards outlets such as Al-Jazeera have shaped the situation in Egypt.
